Rock Drawings in Valcamonica

First Italian site awarded as World Heritage Site by UNESCO (1979) and European most important rock art centre, Valle Camonica is a unique place, where nature and culture tell 13,000 years of history of mankind, thanks to more than 300 thousand petroglyphs (rock drawings). Lombardy Region logo, Rosa Camuna -Camunian Rose- also takes inspiration from a symbol which was found on 92 petroglyphs of this valley. Valle Camonica is just one hour away from Brescia by car. A different and peculiar way to reach this valley from Brescia is by the local train which stretches along the lake shores and dives into Valle Camonica through an outstanding and scenic itinerary surrounded by vineyards, lake and mountains.
